The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27
The celebration of the Passover, with its sacred suggestions. The whole of this chapter is concerned with Hezekiah's call of priests, Levites, princes, and congregation of the people to observe and celebrate with himself the grand solemnity of the Passover. From the analogy of the precedent provided for individual cases of certain kinds of necessity ( Numbers 9:10 ), this celebration for the whole nation is fixed for the fourteenth day of the second month instead of the first.

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:2
This and the following verse are well explained by Numbers 9:6-13 , where the particular instance of the "defilement by a dead body" simply exemplified other legitimate instances of defilement or non-sanctification ( 2 Chronicles 29:5 , 2 Chronicles 29:15 , 2 Chronicles 29:34 ), and where absence on a journey similarly exemplified other unavoidable absence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:3
At that time . The words seem like a reminiscence of the "at that day," twice occurring in 2 Chronicles 30:6 of Numbers 9:1-23 . But anyway the meaning is plain "at the appointed season." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:4
This verse betokens the careful consideration on the part of "king, princes, and all the congregation," that had been given to the distinct question, whether the exact present circumstances legitimately fell under the description of Numbers 9:6-13 ; and the issue was that they decided that they did, they "ruled the thing right" ( וַיִּישַׁר הַדָבָר ) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:5
Of a long time . Though the idea expressed in this rendering must, under any circumstances, attach to this passage, yet it can scarcely be understood to be given in the one Hebrew word we have here ( לָרֹב ); out of nearly a hundred and fifty occurrences of the word, and often with its present preposition, this is the solitary occasion of its being turned into a mark of time. The translation should read, for they had not kept it in multitude, i.e. in proper multitudes, and in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:2
In the second month - Hezekiah and his counselors considered that the permission of the Law (see the marginal reference) might, under the circumstances, be extended to the whole people. It had been found impossible to complete the cleansing of the temple until the fourteenth day of the first month was past 2 Chronicles 29:17. It was, therefore, determined to defer it to the 14th of the second month, which allowed time for the priests generally to purify themselves, and for proclamation of the... read more
